Reviews by readers

For more than tourists...

I found this book helpful while living in the Netherlands. It has more than just the typical touristy things - tells about some unique museums and shops. Great restaurant reviews. The book also has some good advice about other cities in the NL to visit. Also has a very detailed history and culture of Amsterdam and the NL, which is helpful.

Excellent information for young travellers. Terrible maps.

Excellent information for the 20-something traveller who wants to do more than just see the "touristy" things while visiting Amsterdam. Extensive info on great restaurants off the beaten path as well as great info on coffeeshops and alternative lifestyles. I spent a lot of time reading this book before I got there which was good because trying to navigate the streets with this book was very difficult. The maps are broken up into neighborhoods and there is no simple way to see where you are going when you reach the edge of a neighborhood. I would recommend this book, but don't rely on the maps to help you get where you are going.

Not that great-buy another guide instead

While the book told me about the most important attractions in town, I was disappointed by the maps and ended up wishing I had purchased another book. Restaurant and Hotel listings were less than adequate and the layout could have been better. I was also left feeling that the authors were pushing an agenda with their highly frequent tips and references geared to the gay travler. Let's Go's Germany book was equally as disappointing and I ended up throwing the book away and buying another guide while I was there.
